The singer has been linked to the project since it was first announced last year and now the newly-wed says that fan won’t have too long to wait to see it on the stage.

She spoke to Elle Magazine about the musical, which will open in the West End, saying: ‘I’m still writing. I’m just writing for other people. I’ve nearly finished a musical. I think it’ll be out sometime next year.’

Lily, who recently got hitched to Sam Cooper , said she missed performing live but insisted she was still committed to retiring from the music industry for good.

‘I can’t commit to going on tour for seven months and leaving Sam [new husband Sam Cooper]. I really miss singing my songs to people and seeing the reaction on their faces. It’s one of the most special things you can do, or it was for me.’
